  -  SW will now create a Thunderbolt network when connecting two hosts via Thunderbolt 
     controllers: Windows-to-Windows and Windows-to-MacOS, on L5000 and L5110 controllers.

     shortcut from the Windows Start menu as well.

  -  Added support for L5110 controllers. 
  -  Added a service component to the SW stack.
  -  The SW components (driver, service and System Tray application) will start automatically 
     when a new Thunderbolt device is connected and will go down when no devices are connected
     (except if user has one of these screens open: Settings, Manage Approved Devices).
  -  When Policy settings are changed via the system tray application the settings are applied 
     to connected devices without the need to disconnect them.
  -  System Tray application displays error messages when in No Security mode (Legacy mode).
  -  System Tray application supports moving devices from "connect once" to "always connect" via
     the Approve Devices dialog.
  -  When a non-admin connects a new device there will be a persistent dialog indicating the 
     new device (instead of a balloon that disappears). 
  -  Removed support from Windows 8 32b & 64b and from Windows 8.1 32b.

Known Issues
============
4927006 Sometimes when one or more devices are plugged, device(s) might not appear in the 
		authorization window. Immediate re-plug of the device(s) should make them appear in the 
		authorization window.

4926127 In this version the SW stack goes down when the last device is disconnected. However, 
        the system tray application will stay up if the last device is disconnected within a few
        seconds of the user changing the settings. 

4926352 When security level is "Secure Connect", after disconnecting and reconnecting devices while
        the PC is in sleep mode, the authorization window will not automatically open but the devices
        still need to be re-authorized.
		
4926783	When a Thunderbolt Networking session is connected, the SW can creates an icon on the desktop
		to ease the access to the peer shared folders. If non-ASCII characters are used in the remote 
		computer name this icon may not be created and/or not be displayed correctly in the application

		
Limitations
============
   -  The Thunderbolt Networking implementation does not support Link aggregation (a.k.a. NIC teaming) 
      via the OS.
